• 30 inpatients are being treated for COVID-19.
• 12 inpatients who are positive for COVID-19 are being treated in the ICU.
• Five or fewer who are positive for COVID-19 are on ventilators.
• 300 (cumulative) have tested positive for COVID-19 including individuals from the ED, triage tent and inpatient. These individuals are not necessarily in the hospital.

• 64 inpatients (cumulative) who were positive for COVID-19 have been discharged.
• 15 inpatients (cumulative) who were positive for COVID-19 have died at DCH.
